A very nice fallout of warblers and other neotropical migrants today near Park Rapids. I recorded 11 species of warblers in my yard, including Tennessee, Cape May, and Blackpoll (singles of each). Most species were silent but actively feeding. The only singing species were Black and White, Palm, American Redstart and Ovenbird. Nashvilles, Orange-crowns, and possibly Yellows were nectaring on diamond willow flowers. Other migrants of note were FOY Veeries, Swainson's Thrushes and Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, and more Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and Baltimore Orioles (which had arrived the day before). Nothing like spring migration in the eastern U.S.!
